Sean Maguire and Daryl Horgan have been called into the Republic of Ireland squad for the upcoming Nations League games at home to Wales and away to Finland.

The Preston North End striker and Wycombe Wanderers winger replace Aaron Connolly and Adam Idah who, Stephen Kenny confirmed late last night, missed out on the Euro 2020 playoff loss to Slovakia due to close contact with a non-playing member of the FAI's travelling party who had tested positive for Covid-19.
